Synopsis:

The story plays out over the course of a day and a night at hotel Close for Heaven, a cosmopolitan place where people of various races, nationalities, and cultures meet. Not even at the turn of the millennium is it easy to be black in a Czech city. A thirty-year-old Kenyan named Samuel stands at the edge of the hotel roof recalling his native land. He spreads his arms, closes his eyes, and flings himself off. Then time stops, allowing Samuel to explain why he has decided to take his life. He introduces the viewer to the hotel´s denizens, the people who at one time or another have crossed his path: his beautiful Swedish love named Emily, his African family, the Siamese twins Kira and Mína, the conjurer Ernest, a society of old séance enthusiasts, the mysterious Mr. Jägermeister, and last but not least the hotel owner, Mr. Gut. Thus unfolds a story of multiple perspectives which culminates in an entirely unexpected way.

Close to Heaven' is the last bohemian hotel in Prague, inhabited by a bizarre assortment of people, all of whose fates will become entwined in one moment of magic.
